I DO understand this:
“We’re going to have so many victories,” Trump told overflow crowd in New Hampshire recently.
"These were the words America wanted to hear.".....
But that gets us what?
It gets us a liberal nominee that tells votes what they want to hear.
Trump could give lessons to Bill Clinton (maybe).
Is there another option?
I choose to trust Trump until he proves untrustworthy and he hasn’t yet.
As opposed to a conservative candidate that tells us what we want to hear and after elected tells us why he can't do what he promised.
But that gets us what?
It gets us a liberal nominee that tells votes what they want to hear.
What it gets us is someone who is:
1) Not of the political class, which has ruined this nation over the last 50-70 years, but someone who has actually accomplished a LOT in his life - with his own money at risk, someone who knows and understands how to get the right people to do things fast and well, someone who sets goals and works like the Devil to achieve them;
2) Saying that he WILL do a variety of things calculated to improve things here, especially on immigration, which is THE BIG ISSUE of the campaign - and whether you agree or disagree with particular things he says or, even if you agree and think that he can't get them accomplished...at least he's willing to TRY, unlike the failed political class (which generally tells us to go screw ourselves);
3) Respectful of the average person and at least is expressing that he actually gives a damn about what concerns US, not the people who bankrolled his campaign;
4) Not beholden to wealthy/powerful donors;
5) Not at all intimidated by the lying, anti-American media.
OK, Mr. Trump isn't perfect - we ALL know that, even his most fervent supporters. Welcome to life, no one is perfect.
As far as being even a doctrinaire conservative - he's not there, either, so he's not my ideal candidate. Guess what, my ideal 2008 candidate, the guy who I thought was best for the country at the time, Fred Thompson, isn't finishing up his 2nd term, he's hawking reverse mortgages on TV to old people. He was pretty conservative, very much like a latter-day Reagan...and how much good did he do for the country? NONE, zero, zip, nada, NOTHING - because he didn't get past the GOPe games, let alone beat Obama. To do ANYTHING in politics, you have to first get elected. Most of the candidates running for the GOP nomination are simply too milquetoast to have any chance vs. the dirty Dems, plus they are very soft on immigration. I'll settle for someone who will do what I want much more often than not, vs. somebody like Cankles or Joe Biden, who will NEVER do what I want, thank you very much - because my ideal candidate (Ted Cruz) won't get the support of the GOPe, not soon enough and not to the scale necessary, to defeat the Dem. Trump needs no support, he owns it himself. Trump doesn't need the approval of the GOPe or the media, he doesn't care about them.
Remember the words of General George S. Patton, Jr.:
"The perfect is the enemy of the good."
Here is my corollary: "And the good is the enemy of the bad...so what does that make the perfect?"
